What you describe is either a failed evenheat board or a failed motor relay.
Please post the complete model number from the machine and I can help you narrow it down. There should be a wiring diagram inside the console with voltage checks also.
Thanks/Mike

disconnect power and remove lid. Test the door switch w a volt meter do so opening and closing the door not pushing switch if circuit stays open try pushing switch with finger. If pushing closes circuit then adjust switch.If circuit stays open replace switch. If switch operates with no problems then it is the motor. Check all connections and vacuum lint from motor How old is this dryer?

ok you need to change the belt take model number off machine go to appliance shop get replacement belt open front of dryer belt goes around drum around pulley on motor then under tentioner pulley thank you for useing fixya please rate me

check the thermal fuse if it is blown also change the high limit thermal cut-off fuse www.repairclinic.com shows your parts. go there and enter model number. Also check the heat element. to get into it remove the lint filter and the two screws you'll see there then pry the top up at the front corners. And through the back you should find the heat element and blower housing and thermal fuse and high limit fuse and cycling thermostat.

The dryer is working just fine, but I am concerned about the noise as it sounds electrical.

Based on symptoms, this is a gas dryer. The clicking that you hear is the solenoid opening so that gas can flow and be lit. Except that gas isn't flowing, or the igniter is burned out (if or pilot is blown out if so equipped).

It is normal for the dial not to move unless it is in a timed dry mode (like air or freshen mode) because the moisture level of the clothes is not changing.

Unplug the dryer. Open the control console.Mark and remove the wires from the start switch.Using a volt meter set for continuity,touch meter leads to R1 and R2 while pushing the switch. No reading is a bad switch.Touch meter leads to R2 and CT1. No reading is a bad switch.If the switch checks out good the start windings in the motor are bad.

usually the thermal fuse goes and dryer dies part number 3390719 located in front of dryer on top of the blower wheel housing,when you read anything out you have to pull one of the wires off to get correct reading.also on some of the dryers there is a switch on the pulley that will kill the dryer if the belt breaks

on a timed dry cycle u are selecting the time it will dry
only after the time has run out will it tumble with no heat
on other setting the machine is stopping the heat and putting the machine into a cool down or air fluff mode
sounds like it isworking normally
(solv ya prob)

There are a few things to check out.
1. This may seem obvious, but make sure your temperature switch is not pointed to "fluff/air dry".
2.Is the motor running? It has to, to dry three. Make sure your door switch is engaging
properly.
3. If you are so inclined, unplug the power cord and remove the back lower panel
of the dryer.)
Remove the vent pipe & allow the unit to run, if you now have the
proper heat this means the vent is block, check the outside vent hood,
the sometimes have a screen just inside that will block up not allowing
for air flow.

Check all wire connections to make sure they are attached properly. If they
are burned or worn, they need to be repaired or replaced. Any disruption of the circuit
to the dryer element will stop its functioning.
4. Next, look for the thermostat.. which is usually a small circular metal
device attached to the dryer element canister. Unscrew it and shake it slightly. You should
hear a clicking noise. This should indicate that your thermostat is working (but not
always!).
5. Remove the heater element
canister cover and check to see that there is continuity of
the element wires (no breaks). If there is a break, it needs to be
repaired of replaced.
You can take the heater element to a repair shop and be tested for
current. If you think that you can repair any of this on your own, then
go for it. Always think safety first before proceeding

the dryer is over heating up due to a blocked steam pipe , fluff build up inside the dryer. I have a dryer that id the exact same thing , found out it covered in fluff though out the whole dryer , motor and element ..
